rhs Improyement ARTICULATION.

The third meeting to organize an improve
ment association was held at the ADVOCATE
office on Tuesday night, and the attendance
was quite large. A further step was taken
fsyar1 organization, and full agreement ar
rived vi il regard to scope Of the charter. 1t
will empower che efgsTixaiion 70 construct
and operate public hotels, to buy and improve,
lease, mortgage and sell lands, and engage in
manufacturing enterprises. The capital stock
was fixed at 500, 900, in shares of $40 each,
and the company will be managed by nine
directors. The charter will be drawn and
submitted at q 6eeting to be held next Tues
day night, at the ApSoekTH ONCE, and the
President aud Secretary were empowered to
select fifteen incorpaFRtoFs from o list OF
twenty FIVE names submitted, and to name
nine Of those selected to be directors for tho
first year. ,
The name of the organization will be "The
Improvement Association of Westminster,
Nd After being fully organized it is ex-
pecied Lie cqmBsDy will 60 to work with a
view to pene6tiHg the togE.
One of the first things to be done Saii he ts
get better travelling facilities on the Western
Maryland Railroad, and . renewal OF the con-
tract in relation TO Inducements 10 aetileFE on
the line of the railroad. ARler that, some eff
fort toward getting a summer hotel here, and
inducing Baltimoreans to come and spend the
summer here, or to reside permanently, should
be made.
The possibilities of the association, with
cTsEer energy and effort toward advancing
ihe-bnhaing aad other interests of Westmin-
ster, are great There saa be no doubt that
distinetisely summer hotel here would Le
paying investment, and the advantages to the
town would be large indeed. If the assoeia-
ton would take the matter in hand at once, a
site could be secured and one be built and
rsildy for boarders by next summer. When
a summer hotel is established. it would not
be long before cottages would DC built near
by, for such is the result elsewhege.-
Active work is all that is needed TO give
Westminster boom. The good effects Of the
organization have already been seen, in two
letters received relative to manufacturing en-
terprises The town needs an organization
Of the kind, and no place can prosper much
without one. In addition to such enterprises
1t H2y start itself, it will be bureau of infor-
nation for lhqss looking for eligible locations
for business, and as an aid TO any person or
corporation proposing to locate here. If it
becomes no more than bureau of informa-
tion, it will be of vast benefit. But it bids
fair to be more, and there Is ma reason why
the matters of railroad facilities, summer no.
tel and summer residents should not be taken
up at once and pushed by the association.
Let there be large meeting on next Tues
day night. and let all be prompt in attending
at 100 o'clock.

Mrs. soott-siddous.

This talented eloeutionists and reeiier will
give one of her matchless entertainments at
Odd Fellows Hall, Westminster, on Thurs
day evening, January 18th.
Mrs Sect Siddons is now making her
second tour in this country, her first appear
ance here being about ten years ago. She
comes back in the full flush of her European
triumphs, with her wonderful loneliness at its
height, and with increased artistic powers
which have placed her at the head of her pro-
fession abroad. Her last two years have been
constant repetitiens of artistic successes, and
press and pEhlic alike have given her the
fullest need of appreciation and praise.
Mrs. Scott Siddons inherits both the remark
able beauty and undoubted dramatic genius
ofher great grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Siddons,
the finest actress the English stage has ever
seen, and her dramatic fire and fervor, her
versatility, and above all her natural manner
of acting, show how much she must have in
herited also of the passionate genius Of her
who has been named 'FPhe Queen of 4rag
edy." When she FIRST appeared in public
she was instantly received by the English
people with open arms, and whether she has
appeared before them as actress orreader she
has always held the same place in their cor
dial estimation. She had once retired upon
competency gained by her own efforts, but
the sad downfall of her husbands mental pow
srs, and his unfortunate investments while in
this condition, rendered It necessary for her
to return again to public which, while it
sympathized with her misfortunes, was only
too glad to welcome her to her place on the
platform, which had stood vacant since she
resigned it. Mrs. Scott-Siddons, although
successful on the dramatic stage, prefers the
platform for many reasons. 1t gives her a
wider scope for her many powers; it relieves
her FROM the onerous duties of management;
It lis In every respect mere satisfactory, giving
her more time for the enjoyment of the peana
and quiet of home life, which is to her more
grateful than the fash Of the footlights or the
praise of the people. For the past three
years she has limited her number of appear
ances, working only three times year at Pc
RODS Of six weeks each; but, responding to
general demand, she consented TO give a
season to America. NPs. Scott siddals comes
to America quite bV herself, and is aocampan-
led on her tour by o representative of the
Redpath Lyoeum Bureau. Tho costumes
which she will wear are simply superb; they
were all made in Paris especially for her
American tour.

The snow drift on the Washington road
was opened on Friday of last week. by the
farmers in the neighborhood, after travelling
through fields for some days to get round it.
In days past when a snow drift blocked the
road, it was the custom of the farmers to turn
out with their teams and open the track.
Nova. days it is the practice to wait and ap-
peal to the County Commissioners, who are
expected to appropriate good round sum for
the purpose. Il is related Of Stephen Haines,
who lived neay Mckinstry's Mill, that when-
eyeE q snaw drift blocked up the road in his
neighborhood, he took his six-horse wagon
and turned his cattle in 10 follow the wagon,
and opened the road as far as Uniontown,
and returned home well satisfied that he had
done his duty to himself and neighbors, but
nothing more than his duty. Now, the fash.

County Commissioners were to yield to all
the demands made upon them, the taxes
would be double what they are now, and the
treasury bankrupt. The clamor against the
Commissioners has been so laad, Of late,
that it is wonder that it has not aroused the
heavier tax payers, lest these public guardi-
aus of the county's interests should be in
